One of the workings in the industry is known as “Drone as a Service.” This just means that drone companies are offering their services and trained pilots out to clients who need work done but don’t want to lay down the hefty upfront costs associated with an enterprise drone setup.
The companies should be working towards similar plans as cellphones where the costs are spread out over a certain time period to enable more customers access to the technology.
The industry is growing. More companies should be coming on board. Is this the Drone Rush? Something similar to the race to benefit from the untold riches that laid out west in the 1800’s.
The world is full of entertaining characters and there can be no doubt that further developments in the capabilities and usefulness of drones will find more drones in more houses. Businesses are already adapting in mass.
For most real estate, not going to need anything too fancy, but would emphasize this as part of the service, and indicate that homes are more likely to sell and sell faster when having nice aerial shots.
Have spare batteries if you can. Make sure to drive to different locations to maximize time if need be.
Anyone using the Swell Pro out fishing or any kind of drone fishing? Looks like a lot of fun.
Wish I hadn’t sold this stock, bought it in November for around .60 and took not much more than that. Nice gains.
Haven’t been yet, but it does look cool. I have the DRL sim like to spend a little time messing around with. I’m no pro or anything.
That looks like fun, watched some YouTube videos. I bought a few different DIY FPV kits and my kids and I race around the yard. It is fun to watch the DRL together. We are planning to go to the Feb. 25th race in Miami. Would be a fun nite.
I’m in South Florida, a lot of the realtors I know will just have one of the DJI minis. Some people are really talented and can get the shots rarely leaving their vehicle. The key is to picture the home in relation to the surrounding area to make sure you are highlighting the features that are really going to sell the property. These properties are usually under an acre and easy to capture. Maybe a school, park, beach, or lake is close to the property, make sure to feature it.
For shooting in a more rural area you might want to stage multiple locations to feature things like barns, driveways, gated fences, and pools. Try and get some real good staging of any natural areas, like a pond and dock to highlight that.
Obviously, capturing nice photos of the home and the immediate surrounding is the ultimate goal.
My friend is a professional and likes the Mavic 3 w/ the screen built into the controller at a much higher price point, to each their drone.
What kind of set up is everyone using for real estate drone videos?
I barely passed the test, even though I watched a bunch of different Youtube videos and thought that I was prepared enough
There was more questions about different charts and math to figure out.
I even had to identify the types of clouds
Luckily I passed, but it is getting harder and people should be prepared for it.
I have yet to have an issue, mostly I am loyal to the Royal Caribbean. I have taken my drones all over. Some areas are more friendly than others, Cozumel comes to mind. Make sure you check with the locals.
Airplane, keep in carry-on is the best advice. Should not have any issues if you plan everything out in advance.
Make sure you have all your gear ready, so you don’t forget something on your way out the door.
A lot of the flying I do is for my job and everything has been easy enough so far.
Drone stocks in general are taking off right now. Today DPRO and RCAT are both up. They were previously both selling for under $1. I’m not convinced that the drone market will take off like Teslas, but it certainly does seem to have mass appeal. It’s fun when you get behind the controls for the first time, but mainly these drones are all business and capable of dominating hard to reach areas and difficult terrain that previously required the much more costly helicopters. Invest in areas you know and you should be fine. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. Good luck.
Does anyone own stock in multiple drone companies? Seems like the industry is going to continue to grow. All of the drones have different purposes and it seems like each could be successful in its own right. Are drones going to be like the EV wave that hit the market and everything in its path related to EVs rose drastically.
You are right, these drones are going to be useful for emergency services of all kind,
RCA has a video on LinkedIn where they advertise solid state batteries. ALPP has been silent for a long time, there is no telling what they are up to.
Cobra Aero, which is based out of Michigan, like Vayu Aerospace has an advertisement where they feature the G1 in the background of the poster. The G1 engines are made by this company. They feature a couple of test flights on their website.
As has been stated ALPP subsidiaries are isolated from the other entities. Each company Vayu or RCA Commercial is a separate company of which ALPP is the owner. (Basically ALPP is the shareholder and Vayu is one of their shares, RCA C, Quality Circuit Assembly.)
This structure is useful because failure of one company has no relation to any of the other entities. I like to think of this as the companies are able to try and make the home runs, or “drivers” as Kent likes to say. If there is a failure in the American made drone business or batteries are no longer needed we are in trouble. But in that unlikely event, ALPP has their other businesses to rely upon and try again for the big win.
I think the future is bright.
AgEagle does have its focus sharpened and is fully focused on the eBee lineup of drones and all of the services necessary to make use as easy as possible.
They do have the infrastructure to be getting subscription fees for operators paying for their software offerings. “Measure Ground Control” is an interesting concept to safely automate your drone flights.
The eBee does not have any dangerous spinning parts and that is why is has achieved blanket approval for operations over People (OOP) The company has also focused on interoperability. They are hoping to partner with other providers so that operators will be able to pick and choose exactly what product mix allows them to achieve the best benefits. The MicaSense sensor is deployed on many different drones.
Up a lot higher .73 after hours, hopefully people are starting to take notice. It does look like Kent’s vision is taking shape.
